The characters are largely unsympathetic, the ending does not redeem the ugliness of a key character (but is supposed to), the main character is a pain.
Cons not credible, the characters aren't folks you'd like
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I've found Woody Allen's works to be uneven, some good, some not so good. This is one of the good ones. To clarify, it's worth seeing, but not the movie of the year.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Pros good casting
Cons not very creative

Perhaps a beginner class for psychotherapists could use this movie as a teaching tool. The scenes where the characters get along well shows their pretentiousness and the other scenes are just bummers.
Secret message to Ethan Hawke: before your next movie, shave and wash your hair. And if your character is at least middle class, wear a nice selection of clean, pleasant clothing.
Pros greece looks nice.
Cons who wants to see this?
No, I do not recommend this movie.

If you are looking for credibility, you won't find it here. But I'm glad I saw this film. The plot is so old it is creaky but the acting, dialog and setting are excellent. Sometimes it's nice to see a classic, unrealistic hackneyed plot, when it's done by professionals.
Pros great actors
Cons not credible
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Sapphires is a feel-good movie, well-made.

Nothing in The Sapphires is new, but the execution is very good. I enjoyed it a lot. The actors all do a fine job and the music (Motown covers) is fine.
Pros well paced, well-done
Cons not original
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Unusually low key romantic melodrama about a mildly handsome Jewish nerd in Brooklyn who has 2 pretty girls he's involved with.
Either you buy this or you don't. My 2 friends didn't but I did.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
